While Tail - Taihuringa - turning point

160.00

This While Tail is named Taihuringa, meaning turning point. It depicts the powerful movements and strength contained in the whale’s tail. This is symbolic of our ability to change our direction anytime and forge a life we are happy with. Thus, it symbolises taking ourselves towards a worthy and meaningful purpose. I have endeavoured to communicate this movement through the curve of bone.

This specific Taonga is engraved with two small patterns that reflect each other. This symbolises that inner peace and joy within, leads to outer contentment and joy.

The back of this Taonga has no markings. It symbolises the purity of our innermost essence. That which is connected to the true nature of all things.

As such, the whale tail is similar to the Matau in that it is symbolic of navigating our own lives with wisdom and insight. The main difference is that it shows we are responsible for powering and propelling ourselves towards our ultimate fulfilment. Which is the development of our spiritual path.
